Mentalization-based intervention to recurrent acute presentations and self-harm in a community mental health service setting.

CONCLUSIONS: MBI with consumers with BPD appears to be compatible with recovery-focused psychiatric case management and was accepted by consumers. The case managers perceived that no harm was rendered in terms of deliberate self-harm and acute service utilization. The MBI led to a sense of improved therapeutic alliance in case managers working with consumers.
